I'm an ophthalmologist with a posterior polar cataract and it's really affecting my work. I struggle during surgeries and it's making me depressed. Other doctors recommend surgery but I don't want to lose my accommodation before turning 35. What are my options to manage this without surgery right now?

A posterior polar cataract can impair surgical work and needs careful timing.Speak to an ophthalmologist about safer timing and interim solutions like glasses.
